Officially, Starfield does not allow you to add new traits to your character after character creation. So you can’t replace traits that you remove with different traits through any in-game activity. However, it is possible to replace traits using Starfield console commands.
Method 1 – Using the Console
To remove a Trait, open the console with the tilde ( ` ) key and type the following:
(Removing a Trait)
player.removeperk [perk id]
Replace the [perk id] section with the ID of the trait you want to remove (the IDs are listed below).
To add a new Trait, type the following into the console:
(Adding a Trait)
player.addperk [perk id]
For example if you want to remove the Introvert trait and replace it with Extrovert. Simply enter the following commands below.
- player.removeperk 227FD8
- player.addperk 227FD7
List of all Traits
- Alien DNA – 227FDA
- Dream Home – 227FDF
- Empath – 227FD6
- Extrovert – 227FD7
- Freestar Collective Settler – 227FD5
- Hero Worshipped – 227FD9
- Introvert – 227FD8
- Kid Stuff – 227FDE
- Neon Street Rat – 227FD3
- Raised Enlightened – 227FD2
- Raised Universal – 227FD1
- Serpent’s Embrace – 227FD0
- Spaced – 227FE2
- Taskmaster – 227FE0
- Terra Firma – 227FE1
- United Colonies Native – 227FD4
- Wanted – 227FDD
I believe you may remove or add as many traits as you want but I suggest using only 3 perks as it doesn’t break your immersion of the game.
Note: Using these commands will disable achievements, but if this is a real issue for you, you can always download the Achievement Enabler mod on Nexus Mods, which allows you to earn achievements even after using the commands.
Method 2 – Removing Traits without the use of console
Depending on what you want to remove, there are several different ways to remove a trait in Starfield. Some can be removed surgically, some with credits, and some by talking to the right people – it all just depends on what the trait is.
Here’s how to remove every trait in Starfield without using the console:
